User Manual Smeg DOSF6390X Electric Oven Classica Aesthetic

A feature of certain Smeg ovens, Pyrolytic cleaning is an automatic cleaning function which works by heating the inside of the oven to 500°;C, at which temperature any grease stuck to the walls is simply burned off. All Pyrolytic ovens use Cool Door technology, which indicates that during the Pyrolytic cleaning cycle the outer door glass will become no hotter than 55º;C, and feature a special safety device which locks the door for the duration of the process. Once the programme has finished and the oven has cooled down, wipe off dirt and burned-on residue with a wet sponge and then dry with the Smeg PAMI-1 microfibre cloth.

Once a month should be sufficient if you use your oven with a normal degree of regularity and for normal purposes. However, if you use the oven very frequently or often cook large quantities of food then you should increase the number of cleaning cycles as necessary.

Before starting the Pyrolytic cleaning cycle in built-in ovens, all internal accessories (pans, grills, pizza stone, telescopic shelf guides etc.) and the roof liner must be removed. Please consult the user manual supplied with your Smeg product for more detailed instructions.

The fumes produced as a result of burning fat and grease during the Pyrolytic cleaning cycle are burned off by the grill heating element and filtered by a ceramic catalytic converter at the top of the oven. When mixed with cooling air circulated by the fan, the fumes are expelled as cool water vapour out of the front of the oven (underneath the control panel).

No. The door stays locked for the duration of the process. You will be able to open it again at the end of the cycle when the oven temperature has dropped to a safe level.
